When it is desired to wind a curl While applying a regulated tension thereto during the winding, the protector clamp is attached to the strand near the distal end thereof, the nut 26 tightened to provide; the desired degree of braking, thecurl started on the curler rod and the curler rod. IQiated in the usual manner with one hand while: the protector clamp and curler rod are held in; assembled relation by the other hand. When it; is, desired to wind a curl in the usual mannen. the protector clamp is applied near the scalpl and the curl wound manually until the curler rod Vapproaches the protector clamp after whichA tightening is effected in the usual manner.V It' is usually desirable, where the curler is being tensioned at. all times during winding, totightens the nut 26 still further; at the time thejrollers;

understood that the same maybel .realfdfudif-- ferent constructions and l -therefore do not wish; to be, limited .except'naccordance with thef scopef thejapperi'dd claims and the prior art.

Having thus described my invention, what Ii claim is:

1. A permanent waving combination, a pair of rotatable rollers, means.; for holding said rollers in position to clampaaz strand of hair therebetween, means for applying't device comprising, in.

a rotation resisting force to one of said rollers:

and means for winding a strand of hair clamped; between said rollers and causing it to pass be-4 tween said rollers as it is being wound.

2. A permanent waving device comprising, in: combination, a pair of rotatable rollers, meansV for holding said rollers in position to clamp a= strand of hair therebetween, means for applyinga regulable rotation resisting force to one of said.. rollers and means for winding a strand of hair f clamped between said rollers and causing it topass between said rollers as it is being wound.

3. A hair waving device comprising, in com-- bination, a frame, clamping means comprising parallel rotatable rollers journaled in opposedl portions thereof and between which a strand of hair may pass, means for urging said rollers into hair gripping relation to each other and rotatably supporting them in such relation, means: forming a portion of said framework for rotat ably supporting a curler rod upon which the hair4 is wound, and means for applying a regulablerotation resisting forceto at least one of saidA rollers.

4. A hair waving device comprising, in combination, a frame, clamping means comprising parallel rotatable rollers journaled in opposed portions thereof and between which a strand of hair may pass, means for urging said rollers into hair gripping relation to each other and rotatably supporting them in such relation, means forming a portion of said frameworlr for rotat- 5 Vably supporting a curler rod upon which the halr is wound, and means for applying a regulableA4 rotation resisting force to at least one of said@ rollers, said framework comprising a single sheet metal element. 10 'i 5. A hair waving device comprising, in comb1. nation, a pair of jaws comprising rotatable-rolleers,`one thereof being provided with a.; central? shaft, means including a connecting; member- Ihaving a shaft receiving opening formed therein I5 for connecting said jaws at, their ends, and means for urging said jaws into. hair,l gripping relation to each other,z saidA last means including a cam projection on an end of said shaft having one point on its cam surface approximately con- 20 tinuous with, the surface. Qf said shaft and the remainder withinA the; extension thereof said first means, being provided with elements adapted to rotatably support a curler rod.

6;1 A hair waving device comprising, in combi- 25 nation,` a'pair of jaws comprising rotatable rollvers, one thereof being provided with a central shaft, means including a connecting member. having a shaft receiving opening formed there;

.in for connecting said jaws at Vtheir ends,

8. A permanent waving device comprising, in combination, Ya pair of rotatable rollers, means for holding said rollers in position to clamp a strand of hair therebetween and means carried by said holding means for supporting a curling 50 rod in spaced relation to said rollers thereon, Ksaid holding means also including means for applying arotation resisting force to one of said rollers.
